Hi Sir Qorax!

Me and my friends forwarded our Passports to Visa office on the same day. After a week my friend already got her passport back from VO while I didn't. Now, it's almost a month of waiting for it. What do you think is the reason why there is a delay of stamping for our passports? Are background and security checks are still carried on on this phase? Is there still a room for denial after Passport Request? Thanks!

Thanks for reply Rajpar, I did my medical in July 2011, ecas changed to "medical received, and application in process in October 2012" they requested police Clarence certificate of my wife in October 2011. I sent the certificate in November 2011.

My last enquiry to buffalo before closing down, on 8th May 2012, they said my file requires additional BG checks and will be sent to Ottawa for processing. I got my caips/GCMS on June 6th,2012. From the file it Is clear they have done crimanility, eligibility, RCMP screening and medical all passed for both of us but security section is blanked out. On some pages it says it started on 12th December 2011 but based on email from buffalo it means they haven't started it by May 2012.

My recent enquiry to Ottawa they said my file is unde
Undergoing BG check... If it takes 5-6 months, the thing I don't know is when did they started it? Now my medical is expired too.

Any ideas when did they actually started BG checks and how long it will take? My last enquiry to MP, his assistance said they have forwarded my cease to international agencies and they are waiting for the response.

Question for you guys -

Background - I applied in Sept 2011 and received a request for additional docs earlier this month.

I noticed a minor error in my 'Additional Family Information' IMM5406 form that I submitted last year. I entered the wrong year of birth for one of my siblings, so instead of it being 1976, I put in 1975. I only noticed this error since the VO has asked me to send updated forms. I will put in the correct year of birth for my sibling this time on form IMM5406 but my question is, should I also mention this change (1975 in previous IMM5406 submitted back in September '11 to 1976 in current IMM5406) in my cover letter?

Medicals were expired on 23-11-2011. I am still waiting for re-medicals.

According to the CAIPS notes, BC are going on my file. BFD was 08-03-2012.

My FTH is NIL. I have no issues/cases against me with court.

What the hell for they are scrutinizing?
